Consider two spin 1 particles, that can be combined to form j = 0, 1, 2 states. Use a method of your choosing to express the nine global eigenkets |j, m) in terms of the local eigenkets |j1, j1; m1, m2).
If the state of a system is represented by
Ispin-up-along-z-axis>, this means
(according to the Eigenvector/ eigenvalue
Rule) that the system possesses the
property of Spin-along-the-z- axis; and,
moreover, the value it has of this property is
"spin-up". Now suppose we measure the
system's spin along an axis z' inclined at an
angle of 90° from the z-axis. What is the
probability that the value of Spin-along-the-
z'-axis is "spin-down"? What is the
probability that the value of Spin-along-the-
z'-axis is “spin-up"?
Draw an energy level diagram for a nonrelativistic particle confined inside a three-dimensional cube-shaped box, showing all states with energies below 15· (h2/8mL2). Be sure to show each linearly independent state separately, to indicate the degeneracy of each energy level. Does the average number of states per unit energy increase or decrease as E increases?
